I think I've heard enough noobs saying "the new skill is going to be sailing rofl" And, "I bet new skill is slayer II!" And even: "In new skill we get mounts and can fly and and we hatch animals" I want to hear educated guesses from the intelligent people here at OrbMore!

What we know so far:

The Skill will partially be F2P.
The Skill will be the biggest update of 2010.
The Skill will change the game this much.
The Skill DOES take you beyond the current free map.
The Skill was first supposed to be a game on its own, but was changed into a skill later.
The Skill doesn't involve Pirate Empires, a 'future' Fun Orb game.
The Skill has never been done in a 'game' before.
The Skill has probably not been guessed yet.
The Skill will be the 25th skill.
The Skill is taking a large amount of resources from the graphics team.
The Skill will use a whole new game mechanic.
The Skill will introduce a whole new type of gameplay.
The Skill will involve all current skills and combat.
The Skill is not going to be a combat, resource, production or character development skill.
The Skill is unique and not similar to another skill.
Aspects of the skills will be good for Pures in PVP.
It won’t have any impact on your combat level.
No Quest to unlock the skill.
No other Skills required for the skill.
Training will not be money driven or cost a lot. However, decent money requirements will not be completely devoid.
A ship is featuring in it quite prominently
It's not Sailing or anything like that.
It does NOT start with a ‘B’.
The New Skill was first scheduled for last year, but has been delayed to 2010.
The New Skill won’t be released this month (February).
"The New Skill will be ready soon.." (Mod MMG, January the 18th 2010).
The New Skill will be released closer to the middle of the year (appx. May/June) than to the end of the year.
^ Thanks to RuneScape wiki for a compilation of all the info!

Space travel.

[Kizd]

Hmm, that sounds crazy but MechScape WAS a scape game wasn't it?

[¥]

I dunno, I didn't come up with it, I just think it makes sense
Not that I think it would be a good idea =/

[Kizd]

How would you train that?

[¥]

No idea

It's unlikely to be it though, since Mechscape was cancelled recently and this skill has been worked on for years

True. But what kind of skill could be so advanced to be a game on it's own? Either it's the biggest skill ever or that game would be very boring.

reanimation, i'm talking about a mix of necromancy, mummification, and enchanting stuff like we do in the warrior's guild, to a greater extent

[GuppyForce]

I find it unlikely to be space travel, since runescape is medieval. Also, since there's no quest to unlock it it's even more unlikely to be space travel

It's obviously queueing

Tourism. the more you walk the more it levels up.

No teleports allowed >: D

edit: You are missing a few facts that I think are important:

In Mod Fetzki's Q&A 2010, Fetzki said that this new skill will take free players beyond the free player map.

This was previously possible with gnomecopters. Connection?

Mechscape*

I doubt that would happen.

Funorb skill lol

The more orbpoints / achievements / highscores you get the more xp you get...

[Kizd]

Jagex said they're working on new places to go on the map. Maybe the new skill could take us there?
